My bold scarf – thanks Susan!
I’m pretty excited, but totally not surprised, that so many of you were bold enough to add your name to my challenge for the year. Together we are going to build up other women and I’m pretty confident that we will have some awesome results!
I consciously tried to do something each day after I wrote about the challenge that would build another woman up. I sent an email of support, I spent a lunch in positive conversation with a friend I hadn’t seen in a while, I complimented someone I ran into at church. It feels really great to build up other women!
Then yesterday, my mom was bold enough to call me out in the middle of a conversation I was having about a mutual friend, telling me to “be a builder”. She was right. And I was wrong. See, it’s a process!
I got this crazy bold zebra scarf for Christmas. I wear it when I want to feel fearless. I wore it when I typed the post about being builders. That was me putting myself out there. It’s not an easy thing to do. So thank you, again, for your comments and support.
I’ve got a busy week with the Hubby on a trip, baby sitting a friend’s kids, basketball practices, baby gifts to make, braces to tighten and a continuation of the bold gutting and dejunking of every room in the house.
We finished Hannie B’s room this weekend, including a total overhaul of her closet with new built-ins. I’ll cover that tomorrow. It may or may not be a little weird how much an organized closet makes my day.
Happy Monday! Go be bold!

Love the picture. The scarf suits you well. Way to go on the organization.
We never are too old to be called out by our loving mothers. I'm grateful they are wise enough and bold enough to do it and you are amazing to be humble to accept the call out. The Queen is an amazing mother! Love the Zebra! Good luck with the dejunking.
I must be weird too. The more organized I get the happier I am. Right now I have serious plans in the works for Cora's bedroom. There will pictures and blog post's galore to cover this transformation. =)
You are wild an wonderful, just like the zebra.
P.S. Are there any closets left to clean now?
Love the photo! You always look great but in this picture you look especially youthful. I think it's a combination of the hair, smile and scarf.
You'er bold and I appreciate that about you.
Usually after New Year's, my kids go back to school. We are on a new track this year and they are off from Dec 22- Jan 24. We just barely put Christmas away and the cleaning frenzy has only happened here and there. We have company coming to town on Friday, so we have to get ready- but i don't have time to go through every drawer and closet like I want too! We have fun things to do- this is our summer! We have music lessons and some braces are coming off this week, we have a 12th birthday......
Clean and organized closets make my day! This is why I will be tackling Christina's closet soon. Teenagers closets are nightmares! :)
This picture of you is wonderful, you look so young and pretty!
The challenge for this year is a difficult one, and it will take process to completely do it, but we can be builders! I know! ;D
